I'm realizing that my oldest looks more like Bootsy Collins than a White Cat, but there she is, feeling mighty awesome in her furry ensemble.

A closer look at my boy:

Life is swirly these days, with continued uncertainty about my sister's health. We met with the Nurse Navigator today, and received a giant binder of information and a book to review. We got her biopsy results, but still don't have much of an idea what it all means, since we're totally new to this. We meet with the surgeon on Tuesday of next week, and will finally hear the MRI results and what sort of treatment plan they've cooked up.

In the meantime, life doesn't slow down at all. The husband and kids have their activities, my work schedule keeps me on the rails, my friends keep me laughing and the holidays are approaching at a fast clip. It's good to be busy, and I have a feeling that whatever we hear on Tuesday will be an opportunity for us all to grow - closer, smarter, tougher.
